C99 Volume 24 Chen Jiaxiang

Chen Jiaxiang's face is as dark as water as he walks quickly in the corridor of the Glory and Dream Stadium.

When he looked up, Chen Jiaxiang realized that the person walking toward him was someone he was quite familiar with. He was also the person he did not want to meet the most at this moment.

It was the chairman of the Japanese Orderly Association, Shizuhara Miminro.

It was obvious that Shinohara Minghong was also surprised and embarrassed by this unexpected encounter.

However, the two of them still politely squeezed out a smile and extended their hands to each other.

"You have to do your best in today's competition. " Xiao Yuan Min Lang politely spoke in English.

"Same here, I wish you good luck. " Chen Jiaxiang replied politely in English.

When the two of them were in the wrong, Shinohara Min-Lang suddenly turned his head and said: "Oh, the head coach of the China female volleyball is very young and promising. I heard that her contract is after the end of the Olympic Games, right? Does the China Orderly Association plan to renew the contract after the Olympic Games? "

" Oh? Mr. Xiao Yuan, if you have something to say, just say it!" Chen Jiaxiang said.

Shizuhara Minghong chuckled. "The top teams in the Japanese VA league all have plans to change their commanders, so I took this opportunity to help them find excellent volleyball coaches in the world. The Olympic Games are coming to an end. . . "

Do you think that we, China's female players, will be eliminated after this game, and we don't have the chance to make it into the top eight? Chen Jianxiang thought. He smiled coldly and said, "Thank you for the favor of our young coach from the Japanese volleyball industry. However, The Olympic Games were only going to start in half. After this group match with the Japanese female rehearsals, we still have a quarter of the finals, the semi-finals, and the finals to prepare. But I can tell you, After the final match of the Olympic Games with the China female rehearsals, the China volleyball association and Coach Wei will discuss the renewal of the contract. No matter what, I think Coach Wei will be the primary candidate for the head coach of the China Orders in the next Olympic Games. "

Xiao Yuanxin nodded. "Oh, if that's the case, then it would be a pity. I apologize for my rudeness. . . "

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanxin bowed politely and walked over quickly.

"Hmph!" Chen Jiaxiang was not in a good mood to begin with, but he felt even worse after hearing Xiao Yuanxin's words.

No matter who he lost, he could not lose to Japan! Chen Jiaxiang thought.

When Chen Jiaxiang sat on the spectator stand, the first match between the China female and Japanese female rows had already begun.

Seeing the head coach of the China female platoon, Wei Xindi, commanding the competition, Chen Jiaxiang suddenly remembered the scene three years ago when he and Tan Hongjin personally flew to America and invited Wei Xindi to return to China to coach the China female platoon.

Three years was not a short time!

In these three years, he had been the head coach of the China female platoon two and the executive coach of the China female platoon one. To the head coach of China's female platoon, whether it was selection, training, or manpower. . . As long as Wei Xindi had any plans and wanted to do something with the team and the team members. . . Chen Jiaxiang would give her the greatest support and help within the scope of his authority after careful consideration and judgment. The two of them had never had any conflicts or contradictions regarding principles.

Chen Jiaxiang treated Wei Xindi more like an elder taking care of the younger generation rather than a working relationship between the director of the volleyball center and the head coach of the team. The elder relied on the younger generation. . .

But this morning, the matter of the preparation meeting before the entire team competition really made Chen Jiaxiang a little angry.

. . .

Originally, before the preparation for the competition, Chen Jiaxiang would, as usual, give everyone a short thought before Wei Xindi announced the line-up of the competition and arranged the tactical arrangements. However, today, Chen Jiaxiang was prepared to put this ideological mobilization at the end.

He felt that the outcome of the match with the Japanese female volleyball was not just a matter of whether the team could successfully qualify. It also had a deeper meaning. Therefore, he was prepared to tell his teammates and coaches about it. In the most common saying in China's volleyball world, "No matter who loses, they can't lose to Japan!"

However, Wei Xindi was the first to speak to everyone. His words stunned him.

"Ladies, although today's match concerns whether or not our group can qualify, I still hope that everyone will treat it as a normal match. No matter who our opponent is today, it doesn't matter who it is. Use a calm heart! Didn't I always say that? I hope you all will use your calm heart to face any opponent, to face any opponent. I think. . . Victory and defeat in competitive sports is very normal, there are no opponents that we 'must' face. Or that we must win. There are also no competitions that we can 'guarantee' or 'absolutely win! The Japanese female rehearsals are the same as any other opponent. We only need to prepare for what we need to do. Pay attention to the details that we need to pay attention to, pay the effort that we need to give, Victory will come naturally. . . Right, Director Chen!"

As Wei Xindi spoke, he looked specially at Chen Jiaxiang.

Although it was true. . . Wei Xindi, you can't say that! At that moment, Chen Jiaxiang's heart felt like it had been knocked over by a bottle of five flavors.

He knew that the reason why Wei Xindi emphasized "right, Director Chen," must be because she didn't want him to say "no matter who loses, you can't lose to Japan. "

Chen Jiaxiang fixed his eyes on Wei Xindi. However, he also knew that at this moment, the other athletes and coaches of the team were also staring at him. The atmosphere in the small meeting room became somewhat solemn.

After a moment, Chen Jiaxiang suppressed his anger and slowly nodded.

"The details of the 'calm' that Director Wei mentioned are indeed very important. I hope everyone can really do it well. Then, let's set up the tactics. There's nothing important, I won't say it. " Chen Jiaxiang said lightly.

When Wei Xindi began to plan his tactics with his team members, Chen Jiaxiang lowered his head and tightly gripped the pen in his hand. He stabbed it heavily into his thick skin diary and wrote the words that Wei Xindi had held back in his heart:

No one can lose to Japan!

The preparation meeting had finally come to an end.

After everyone else left, only Wei Xindi and Chen Jiaxiang were left in the living room.

"Pa!"

Chen Jiaxiang threw the book in his hand heavily onto an empty chair beside him. The pen in the notebook was thrown out and fell to the ground.

"Director Wei, why did you say that just now? Don't you know that 'even if you lose, you can't lose to Japan'?" Chen Jiaxiang looked at Wei Xinzhi and said.

"Director Chen, I used to be a member of China's female platoon. How could I not know the meaning of this sentence? After so many years. . . Every time during the war between China and Japan, you would say this to everyone. I know, this is your habit. " Wei Xindi said with a smile. He bent down and picked up the pen and handed it to Chen Jiaxiang.

It seemed that Wei Xindi had already expected that Chen Jiaxiang would do such a thing to her team members. He would be furious because she deliberately did not let him say those words in front of everyone.

"Then you just don't know how important this match is to the China female rehearsals. " Chen Jianxiang asked again.

"Director Chen, today's competition is a 'life and death battle' for us. If we win, we will enter the top eight and continue forward. If we lose, we'll pack up and go home. Our results are tied to the ninth place. . . "

" Then, you will create the historical record of the Olympic Games in China's female platoon! " Chen Jiaxiang did not wait for Wei Xindi to finish speaking and angrily interrupted her.

Wei Xindi smiled and said, "Director Chen, I don't want such a 'historical record'. It was precisely because I knew the importance of today's competition that I told the girls that. This is their first time in the Olympics, In the previous games, their mental states were not ideal enough. After losing two games in a row, they would welcome this' deathmatch '. If they can't use a' normal heart 'to fight their opponent, then it will be really dangerous. "

" Then can't you emphasize the special significance of today's match to them? " Hearing Wei Xindi's explanation, Chen Jiaxiang calmed down a little. But he still said, "You should understand. The opponents in today's match were different from the other opponents. They lost to the Japanese female rehearsals and to any other opponent. It is different! Taking ten thousand steps back, if we are really eliminated because of losing to the Japanese female rehearsals. . . How are we going to explain it to the entire country? How do we have the face to face the fans of China who support us? The Japanese female volleyball is not the same as any of your 'opponents'!"

" Director Chen, I don't agree with what you said. " Wei Xindi put away his smile. He raised his head and said stubbornly, "I'm not the only one who knows that we can't afford to lose this match. I think. . . The girls all understand the importance of this game, and they also understand that the Japanese female rehearsals are our opponents in this Olympic Games' deathmatch '. What does it mean? I believe that each and every one of our team members has the determination and conviction to go all out and fight to the end in this' deathmatch 'tonight. I believe that. . . If I were to emphasize too many things such as' you must win 'and' you must not lose 'to them at this time, it would instead increase the pressure on their subconscious. It would make them carry heavier burdens. And. . . "

" What's more. . . ? " Chen Jiaxiang stared into Wei Xindi's eyes.

"And again and again, the emphasis is. . . It will only make them feel that we. . . Do not completely trust them. . . Although the girls are very young. . . They have different personalities and have committed many mistakes in the competition. . . But I think we must make the team feel that. . . We believe that they will be able to do it, they will definitely be able to do it!" Wei Xindi said. After a pause, he asked, "Director Chen, If I say that we will definitely win today's competition. . . Are you willing to trust me? "

. . .

Sitting in the stands, he recalled the scene that happened in the morning and recalled the events that happened in the morning. Every word that Wei Xindi said, Chen Jiaxiang's mood gradually calmed down a little.

However, the situation in the competition field made him unable to remain calm again.

The first technical suspension of the first match with the Japanese female racers, China's female racers temporarily fell behind by 4 to 8!

In this match, Wei Xindi arranged a new starting lineup to meet the Japanese female volleyball.

On the main attack line, she had Xia Zhi and Mo Xiaoyu, this pair of "sisters. " The secondary offensive line was still between Fang Han and Xiao Xiao. On the other hand, Wei Xindi had sent Zhou Shuyao and Xiong Xin to the secondary and backup positions.

Compared to the first few games of the Olympic group competition, the China female volleyball team had a total of six people in the first few games. Today, they had boldly replaced three of their members!

Chen Jiaxiang understood Wei Xindi's intentions.

In the face of the exquisite Japanese female volleyball, which was known for its defensive skills, the China female volleyball had to do better in the first pass and defense. Only then could they ensure that they could play their own unique points in the offense.

However, perhaps the overall coordination of this lineup was not perfect, so under the pressure of the Japanese female volleyball, the China female volleyball did not perform well in the beginning of the match.

Peaceful! Chen Jiaxiang tried his best to calm himself down. However, he still subconsciously touched his pocket - the small bottle of ginseng drops was still there. Chen Jiaxiang felt that perhaps this was the only thing that could temporarily calm his heart down.

After the first technical pause, Wei Xindi did not plan to change people.

Although Mo Xiaoyu and Xiong Xin, the two Guaranteed Attackers, had improved the stability of the China female volleyball compared to the previous matches, with only Xia Zhi left, the Japanese female volleyball was much easier to block and defend.

If they didn't switch players, how would Wei Xindi deal with them? Chen Jiaxiang thought as his brows tightly furrowed.

Gradually, the number of fast attacks and tactical attacks in the third position of China's female platoon increased.

In front of the three-man net formed by the Japanese women's platoon, Fang Han's speed ball far exceeded the fingers of all the Japanese women's platoon members. It 'nailed' the Japanese women's platoon like a shooting star.

This was a good sign! Chen Jiaxiang thought as his spirits rose.

Next was the attack of the China female platoon.

Chen Jiaxiang sat in the stands and happened to be at the bottom line of the China female platoon. He could clearly see the movements of the China female platoon members in terms of tactical coordination. At this moment, he saw that after Mo Xiaoyu stably served the Japanese female volleyball for her teammates, Fang Han once again quickly ran behind the Second Trainer Zhou Shuyao.

Was he still going to follow the example of the flying ball that he had just finished? Chen Jiaxiang could not help but shake his head. The defense of the Japanese female volleyball was not that simple!

No!

It was not just Fang Han. Chen Jiaxiang only saw Xiong Xin also agilely move behind Fang Han.

A little support with a height of less than 1. 90 meters cooperated with a two-meter tall major secondary attack to launch a ladder attack! This was the first time Chen Jiaxiang had seen the China female platoon use such a tactic. This was naturally out of the Japanese female platoon's expectations.

Behind the tall Fang Han, Xiong Xin, who stood out, became the "movie warrior" of the China female platoon in this round of attack!

"Good ball!" Chen Jiaxiang subconsciously shouted and raised his palm.

Chen Jiaxiang liked Xiong Xin very much and admired Wei Xindi's hard work on Xiong Xin.

Although this young reinforcement was not a good match for the great reinforcement tactical system that Wei Xindi admired, Wei Xindi had never given up on her. He had been racking his brains to use her well.

More importantly, Xiong Xin had never shown any dissatisfaction or complaints, whether it was being replaced by teammates or being adjusted to be the 'Guaranteed Attack'. All she had was extra hard work in training.

Chen Jiaxiang understood that Xiong Xin only had one dream from the beginning to the end. To stand on the stage of the Olympic Games and help China's female rehearsals win!

The experienced head coach of the Japanese female volleyball team, Tanaka, cautiously requested for the first timeout.

Chen Jiaxiang glanced at the row of seats not far in front of him. Yoshihara was sitting with the staff of the Japanese female volleyball team, watching the ball.

At the beginning of the game, Shinohara Minghong, who had been chatting excitedly with others, had already quieted down.

Although he could not see the expression on Xiao Yuanyu's face, Chen Jiaxiang could imagine that Xiao Yuanyu should not be as relaxed and satisfied as he was at the beginning of the game.

After the pause, the Japanese female volleyball strengthened its defense against the fast ball of the China female volleyball.

However, this also distracted them from blocking Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi's continuous assault succeeded and finally helped the China female volleyball team catch up to the score.

Chen Jiaxiang saw that after scoring, Xia Zhi and his teammates only gave simple high-fives to celebrate. They immediately focused their attention on defending against the Japanese female platoon's next attack.

Seeing Xia Zhi's calm appearance, Chen Jiaxiang could not help but nod his head.

He did not forget.

Three years ago, in the China International Women's Racing Invitation Competition held in Yongdong Port, the first attack launched by China's second female platoon and Japan's female platoon was Xia Zhi.

Chen Jiaxiang still vaguely remembered that in order to avoid the Japanese female volleyball blocking players, Xia Zhi had thrown the first ball out of the game. And the second ball that she threw after that was actually blocked by the Japanese female volleyball team members who were much shorter than her. . .

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Zhi had grown from an ignorant and unknown "rookie" to this "heavy gunner who could decide the team's fate at a critical moment. " He had become the team's most reliable and trustworthy attacker. Chen Jiaxiang knew how much sweat, tears, and even heart-wrenching pain Xia Zhi had put in over the past three years. . .

"Hey hey!"

A carefree shout rang out in the Glory and Dream Stadium, pulling Chen Jiaxiang back from his thoughts.

It was the signature shout of the China female platoon's secondary attack, Xiao Xiao.

Chen Jiaxiang looked up. The large screen on one side of the court's wall was playing the slow-motion replay of the ball.

That's right, it was Xiao Xiao!

Facing the Japanese female volleyball's number one attacker, Shichuan Youxi, Xiao Xiao leaped high into the air in front of the net. Her textbook blocking posture, rhythm, and timing had completely sealed off Shichuan Youxi's determined slam dunk!

Xiao Xiao, who had short hair, had been given the nickname "Easy Bro" by her teammates and fans. However, in Chen Jiaxiang's impression, Xiao Xiao was usually gentle and quiet. Every time she said a few more words to him, she would be shy and nervous to the point of not knowing what to do.

In the competition arena, Fang Han was always a celebrity on the China female platoon's line-up. Everyone might have overlooked the role Xiao Xiao played in front of the Internet. However, Chen Jiaxiang would never ignore it. Xiao Xiao had always been working hard! She had been silently working hard to block one more attack from her opponent for the China female volleyball and catch another fast ball.

"Xiao Xiao, you did well!" For the first time, Chen Jiaxiang held his hand close to his mouth and shouted loudly into the arena.

Although he knew that his cheer would definitely be drowned out by the cheers of all the fans in China, it was even more impossible for Xiao Xiao, who was fully focused on the match, to hear his cheer clearly. However, at this moment, Chen Jiaxiang felt a lot better.

Xiao Yuan, Minlang, turned around. At the very least, he heard Chen Jiaxiang's shout.

The two of them looked at each other.

This time, Chen Jiaxiang's smile came from his heart.

Xiao Yuan Min Lang's smile was forced.

"Director Chen, this ball really makes me angry!"

Chen Jiaxiang turned around and saw Zhao Yinan sitting behind him, watching the game.

"When did you come? Why didn't you say anything?" Chen Jiaxiang was happy to see his "old subordinate" here. "Eh. . . That's not right! You are so busy in the team division all day long. Why do you have time to come and watch the ball?"

Zhao Yinan chuckled. "Director Chen, I have to come to the match between the China female volleyball and Japanese female volleyball no matter what. "

To Zhao Yinan's surprise, Chen Jiaxiang stood up.

"Let's go. Yannan, go out and smoke a cigarette with me. "

"Huh?" Zhao Yannan was stunned. "Director Chen, we haven't finished the first round yet. 21 to 20. . . The score is pretty tight! "

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiaxiang patted Zhao Yinan on the shoulder. "Are you afraid that we will lose?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Yinan blurted out.

"Why?" Chen Jiaxiang deliberately asked.

Zhao Yinan did not even think and said, "We can't lose to anyone in China's female rehearsals!"
